The Workplace.
This is one of the most dysphoric places for the transgender and non-binary individual to be. The circulating questions and accumulated hear-say with your “cooler clique”, combine with the eyes of observation, the crippling assumptions and deductions you may or may not be making.

Which is why it’s great that people work towards creating lgbtq+ sensitivity training from the point of feminism, to really mark the nature of intersectionality in the workplace, whilst highlighting trans, non binary and other marginalized narratives. This allows everyone to focus on the whole whilst feeling included, supported and validated.
It’s not a matter of creating lgbtq+ jobs, rather, easily acquiring great assets by
